Mario!!!

The always adorable Mario Lopez is co-hosting with Kelly this morning. He really doesn't need to say anything, he can just sit there and show off those dimples. :)

Is he wearing a sleeveless shirt? lol ... While I don't mind him and do think he is hot, I get sick of him trying to show off how built he is. I've read some pretty unflattering stories about him and his ego on the set of Cabaret (I think that is the show he's in, right?!?).

Mario kept his shirt on this time, unfortunately, lol. He is appearing in "A Chorus Line'".

Thanks SavhLaney, I had a feeling I had the wrong show listed above!

He's hot and all, but I really don't think he adds much to any host chat...not exactly sure why Gelman even bothers to ask him to fill in (guess he must be a personal request of Kelly LOL)

Plus, he's in NYC right now doing the show, so he's close and available.

No, he didn't show off for pipa. She was showing off more I'm sick of
hearing what pipa said about did you go to the prom? always have to brag
about her prom. She was wired up about the nude.

[PK...]

I'm saving it for tonight...

Even wearing a shirt, Mario has to beat Regis bragging about saving all the networks, plugging his "nightclub" act, and shaking his head about all his sports teams......

;0))

Hey...nobody mentioned he broke up with Karina!!!!
June 10, 2008 People
Just a few days after Dancing with the Stars favorites Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff split up, he was in the middle of Times Square, talking about the type of girlfriend he's looking for.

"I'm a pretty low-maintenance kind of guy," Lopez, 34, told PEOPLE Tuesday – as he was wearing a "Kiss the Cook!" apron and doing his own grilling (of hot dogs), as part of Oscar Mayer's 125th anniversary celebration to help raise money for the food bank Second Harvest.

"I'd like to be with someone who is secure with themselves. She has to understand that I have a lot going on and I'm busy."

Indeed, Lopez, currently starring on Broadway in A Chorus Line is also host of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. "I'd like someone who has their own thing going on – their own 'passion,' whatever it is."

A surefire way to win him over? "I like a girl that's funny."

As for pet peeves: "If she's a big chain smoker, I'm not really a fan of that. Or a cusser – someone who isn't nice to people. Someone who doesn't like family and doesn't like dogs."

Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez have called it quits, Smirnoff’s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“Karina has parted ways with her two year relationship with Mario Lopez,” says Smirnoff’s spokesperson. “The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction.”

Lopez issued the following statement through his rep: “Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other. She is a phenomenal and talented woman. I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life.”

The on-again, off-again couple–spotted frolicking in Miami last month– began dating in 2006 when they were partnered together on the third season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Though they remained mum about their relationship, they were spotted vacationing in Mexico together shortly after coming in second on the hit reality dance competition. The following May, Lopez, 34, and the Ukrainian-born Smirnoff moved in together.

In April, Smirnoff shot down reports of a breakup, telling PEOPLE, “We are going strong.” –Paul Chi, with reporting by KC Baker and Antoinette Coulton

LOS ANGELES — Last week, "Dancing With the Stars" sweethearts Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff officially announced that they had split — and we’re told it was in large part because of Lopez's alleged wandering ways.

Lopez has been linked to a 22-year-old bartender from San Antonio, Texas, named Meaghan Cooper, whom he apparently first met four years ago through a mutual friend. But the two were reunited last summer, when Lopez was in San Antonio for a public appearance.

Cooper told Pop Tarts this week that she and Lopez have been dating on and off for the past 11 months and that when she questioned him about his very public relationship with Karina, he insisted that they were broken up and only in contact due to dancing commitments.

Pictures of the pair partying together emerged last June and also appeared on Cooper's personal MySpace page, but she claims they were removed at Lopez's request.

Cooper is an aspiring actress/singer and recently wrapped filming of the ABC reality show "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" in Tokyo, which is set to premiere on June 24.

"After I returned from filming he started acting really weird," she said. "Right now we aren't talking, and I won't return his calls."

A rep for Lopez declined to comment. Another source close to his camp didn't want to confirm or deny the reports to avoid giving Cooper any more attention.

A rep for Smirnoff said that this is obviously a difficult time for her but she is focusing on some very exciting opportunities in her professional life and dealing with the situation as best she can.
